The saltwater option upgrades the hook to a 5/0 VMC and the split rings to size 8 Owner Hyper Wires, and the swivel to a size 1 Owner. The two sizes I like to use are the Saltwater Heavy Duty Magnum 8-inch weighing 3.5 ounces and the Super Magnum 9-inch weighing 4.5 ounces. Jigging the Blueback HD Ben Parker spoon will account for many big bass this month on Raritan Bay. “It has now become a go to lure because of how often and aggressively it gets bit,” he said. We proceeded to beat on them for the next week.” Gleason said he and Rob kept it quiet between friends for a couple years until opening TAK in Long Branch.
“The first fish I caught was 28 pounds and we were psyched. “We were on a bite with suspended fish and we were having trouble getting them to eat a shad,” Mike said of his first time testing the lure. Gleason said he began fishing this bait in the fall of 2015 while fishing with Rob Radlof. I really liked the profile and thought it was a perfect match to an adult bunker.” Mike said “I came across the Ben Parker spoons because of largemouth bass fishing. Using them was unheard of several years ago until introduced by Mike Gleason of TAK Waterman in Long Branch. Jigging Ben Parker Magnum Spoons handcrafted by Nichols Lures has taken center attention in the last several seasons as these magnum spoons have been accounting for some really big bass. From here the bass will move into the western end of the Reach Channel in Princess Bay, onto Round Shoal, then up to Old Orchard Shoal and over on to the Keyport Flats. The areas that heat up first in the bay are in the back by the Triangle which is located between South Amboy and Staten Island next to the Great Beds lighthouse.
By mid-April however such will not be the case. At this time the bay is uncrowded as most boaters aren’t even in the water yet so one can fish virtually without any boat traffic. Maybe it’s due to the relatively mild winters of late with no ice on the bay but the last two weeks in March has now become prime time. It seems that the big bass season in Raritan Bay has been starting up earlier and earlier each year. The two methods that work best are jigging Ben Parker Magnum Spoons and heavy weighted shads. Jigging has gained greatly in popularity the last several seasons because boaters can catch big bass without putting in a lot of effort. One can traditionally anchor up in the bay and chunk with clams, troll with spoons, mojos, or deep diving plugs, live line bunker, or jig big bass on light tackle. Fishing for springtime striped bass in Raritan Bay will present several different options for the boater.
